    Dramatic Class
To Present Play
By Oscar Wilde
6Lady Windeinere’s Fan’
Set for Thursday
And Friday
Vivacity, Color, Modernism
Will Be Featured
Elegance, English aristocracy,
magnificent dresses, stunning women
and musical atmosphere will be wov
en ifito Oscar Wilde’s play, “Lady
Windmerc’s Fan,” one of the most
popular social satires of the stage,
which is to be presented Thursday
and Friday evenings by members of
the dramatic interpretation class at
Guild Theatre.
The play will not be unique. All
the gruesome futurism and eccen
tricity featured in the recent pro
duction of R. U. K., will be supple
mented by a contrast, giving play
to vivacity, color, and modernism.
From a glimpse into one of the re
hearsalf, there is every reason to
expect some unusually good charac
ter work this week end.
The loads are difficult to pick out,
since each member of the cast is
making his role a lead. Mary Duck
ett will switch from the position
■of stage manager to the role of Mrs.
Erlynne, an outstanding character
lead. A Chanel designed gown will
be worn by Mrs. Erlynne in the sec
ond act, and an elaborate Chinese
negligee will be employed in the cos
tuming for the fourth act.
Lady Windcmere is being played
by Helen Allen and opposite her is
Merrill Swenson in the role of Lord
Windcmere. Hugh Logan, ns Lord
Darlington, provides the eternally
interesting third party. Listening
to rehearsals, one wonders just where
true Oregonians over learned the ar
tistic inflections of the English
man ’s speech.
Harriett Hawkins, as the Duchess
of Berwick, is able tr fondle her
long rope of pearls in a manner that
corresponds perfectly to the tone of
voice which would be used in a duch
ess ’ role.
There is a freshness, ease, and an
unusual interest shown by all the
members of the east, which, coupled
with the colorful staging and musi
cal background, is indicative of suc
cess. '
Tickets may be secured at the
Guild Theatre box office today and
reservations may be made by calling
142, according to J. Alden Wood
worth, business manager. The box
office will be open between 2 and 5
o'clock Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday.

comptroller; Edna Datson Davis, di
rector of the halls of residence, and
Dean Elmer L. Shirrell.
The excavation contract has been

Rooks Down Frosli
In Final Hoop Contest
In their last hoop game of the
season, Saturday night at Corvillis,
the duckling cagers lost to the Ag
gie rooks in the final minutes of
play, 26 to 23. The score was tied
five times throughout the tilt.
Frosh baskctcers led at half-time,
15 to 10; but in the last period the
rooks became “whirling dervishes,”
according to press reports, and en
gulfed the Oregon infant with an
avalanche of baskets that finally de
cided the game. Dvorak and din
ger were high scorers for the frosh
with nine and seven points respec
tively.
Coach Leslie Meets
Duckling Batterymen
Freshman battery practice start
ed yesterday when about a dozen
pitchers and catchers reported to
Coach Spike Leslie in McArthur
court. Leslie has disbanded his
frosh hoop squad and will now turn
his attention to yearling diamond
activities.
A general call for freshman base
ball will be issued about March 1,
according to Leslie. At present he
wants the pitchers to begin limber
ing np their arms to be ready for
regular practice later.
The frosh will work out indoors
in the Igloo for a while, until the
entire squad is out and batting prac
tice is instituted.

year will avoid any pronounced
trend toward narrow specialization
and will represent rather an intro
duction to a field of knowledge
broader in scope than any present I
department, while at the same time j
serving as an apprenticeship in |
methods appropriate to any field of j
investigation.
Heretofore the college has been j
divided into departments and stu
I dents would choose a major from i
these, as in English, mathematics or I
geology. The departments will con- |
tinue but will only have actual
jurisdiction over students during '
the last two years and in graduate
work. The college departments, for
the purpose of facilitating the new
system, will be affiliated into
grofips. Group one will be language
and literature; group two, social
science; group three, mathematics
and physical science; group four,
biological science. It is from these
four that the students will select
three-year courses from different
groups. If they register in a pro
fessional school, they will fulfill the
lower division requirement in their
school, and take two-year courses
from different groups.
For each of the four groups a
chairman appointed by the presi
| dent and a committee representa
tive of all departments in the group
are charged with the task of for
mulating a lower division curricu
lum.
The proposed legislation will
necessitate a change in the present
advisory system for first and sec
ond year students. A committee on
admissions will be organized to cor
respond with prospective students
before they come to the campus
and o^dcgvor. in so far as possible j
to give them friendly instruction
and advice that will enable them
tor make important decisions so
that they can. be advised properly
when they arrive on the campus.
After arrival they will be assigned
to the chairman of the group or
the dean of the school in which
they have indicated their principal
interest and this chairman will dis
tribute them to individual advisers
who have been selected for this
particular work bv reason of their
special humanistic qualifieafions.
A technical adviser will be pro
vided by the registrar’s office, and
simplification of the registration
and keeping of grade records is ex
pected to be carried out.
The four groups will be made up

SEEK YE NO FURTHER, DIOGENES . . .
This jobbie Diogenes was a Greek who left his fruit stand for the commend
able purpose of questing for honesty by good old-fashioned lamp-light. And
now, loud and ever clearer, rings the cry from the housetops: “Diogenes —
throw away your lantern . . . here’s an honest cigarette! Have a Camel!”
Camels have but one raison d’ etre—to pack the smoke-spots of the world
with the “fill-fullmcnt” every experienced smoker seeks. Fill your own
smoke-spot with a cool cloud of Camel smoke, and hear it sing out_
“Eureka!” (from the Creek, '’Eureka,” meaning—"Oboy, here ’tis!”).
